Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for protecting computing resources may include (i) computing a degree of commonality between pairs of users within a file sharing system based on which files the users accessed over a period of time, (ii) building a social graph that indicates at least one edge between members of an instance of the pairs of users, (iii) computing an anomaly score for a user within the instance of the pairs of users, (iv) detecting that the anomaly score deviates, according to a statistical measurement, from historical anomaly scores computed for the same user, and (v) performing, in response to detecting that the anomaly score deviates from the historical anomaly scores, a protective action to protect computing resources from anomalous behavior by the user. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Method and system of key distribution by trusted nodes for a vehicular ad hoc network, the nodes of said network having at least one pair of public-private keys and the corresponding certificates, issued by a CA, said method comprising each vehicle node, on entering said network region, requesting a set of keys from an RSU node that is within range and within that region, said RSU node sending said vehicle node a set of private keys, selected from a pool of private keys, and a list with the key identifiers of the private keys shared by said vehicle node and the other vehicle nodes that have most recently contacted said RSU for a predetermined period of time; such that two nodes are able to establish a secure connection without further interaction by deriving a shared secret which is a cryptographic hash function of the keys shared by said two nodes.
